Two Wheels Toosday

Week one; It’s not a Race
Welcome to my first blog/post. ‘Two Wheels Toosday’; I grew up in Leicester and Tuesday is pronounced ‘Toosday’. Got that out of the way! It’s not a Race. Just like Parkrun, commuting by bike is about getting out in the ‘fresh’ air and moving from A to B in a none competitive way. We just do it with what feels like aggressive, frustrated, angry other types of road and cycle lane users and pedestrians. Trying to stay calm, not racing the bus, car or other cyclist…. like me keeping an eye on the time, heart rate and what training I have planned later in the day and how I can make this count in my days fitness plan – I have a switch that is permanently on ‘competitive’. But you will be pleased to know that I always try and observe the ‘highway code’. I want to promote and represent responsible cycling and hope readers of this will too. Be kind out there and leave the aggression for your 8 minute effort on a static trainer! Until next time, #handlebars_haynes
